The closet thing I could think of were the company created by the Federal Government for commercial and residential mortgages known as Fannie Mae (NYSE Symbol: FNM) and Freddie Mae (NYSE Symbol: FRE). You can go to Yahoo Finance to learn more about them by clicking here http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=FNM,FRE,SLM&d=s and the federal student loan corporation known as SLM Corporation (formerly sallie mae). Now owning these companies are no guarentee that you will get alot of profit and in fact many small (and large) investors have lost money on there investments. However, these are the only companies that exist that come close to what you are talking about. They are certainly no secret to anyone involved in fiance or to many who don't work in fiance.

Nope; the Fed doesn't need to "guard" any stock; it has a license to print money at will.

there is no such instrument guarded by the fed; the fed only uses monetary policy tools such as open market operation to influence its interest rate (called the fed fund rate)
